It’s early 1998 in Above the Fold, when the internet was still a slow-loading hell of animated GIFs and your flip phone was strictly for making calls. You’re the new editor-in-chief of a small newspaper in the city of Goodbury. You’ve got a (small) pile of money, no staff, no stories, and a city to cover. The general idea is that you can build up your fledgling newspaper into whatever you’d like it to be. Focus on entertainment, celebrity gossip, harmless fluff or hard-hitting politics while hiring staff to help meet your goals. Every day, you set out looking for people to hire and stories to cover, in an effort to find whatever you possibly can to fill the front page. You have to balance your output against your audience, your stories against the reporters you’ve hired, your actions against the owners’ desires, and your actual ability to do anything against however much ad space you’re able to sell. Above the Fold is currently in Steam Early … [Read more...] about Game preview: Create your own ’90s newspaper in editor-in-chief simulator ‘Above the Fold’

Google’s own Pixel 3 XL is getting support for the company’s secretive Fuchsia OS, but not from the Google team. Spotted by Redditor ‘mishudark,’ a new code change submitted to the Fuchsia Gerrit — an online collaborative tool for sharing code — claims to bring initial Fuchsia support to Crosshatch, the codename for the Pixel 3 XL. However, the current support is relatively basic. Currently, the code change includes the ability to boot into the Zircon kernel, which is the minimum software required to run a device. Further, it allows users to display the Zircon virtual console, which is similar to a command line in Windows or a terminal window in Mac OS or Linux. However, there is no other UI beyond the console, nor any way to interact with the console, as there’s no touch or USB support. As such, you really shouldn’t try to put Fuchsia on your Pixel 3 XL yet. Additionally, Google didn’t add the support for the Pixel 3 XL. As Fuchsia … [Read more...] about Indie developer brings Fuchsia support to the Pixel 3 XL

Lincoln’s coach-built reverse-opening long-wheelbase Continental lux sedan is a premium experience that was promised to only 80 lucky buyers. The privilege of being on the list cost these buyers $110,000, or $40,000 more than a top-of-the-line normal-door Lincoln Continental. Lincoln announced the arrival of the car on December 17th, and by December 20th, every single one of the 80 were spoken for. The experiment was so successful that Lincoln has already committed to another limited edition run for the 2020 model year, according to the Detroit Free Press. “Our first two calls came from New York and the West Coast, each wanted to be first,” Robert Parker, director of marketing at Lincoln, told the Freep. “One customer was one of these people who could have whatever they wanted, and he wanted to match the Lincoln with his aircraft. One guy from Tulsa has become a pen pal. I even got a Christmas card from him this year. Over Thanksgiving, he was texting me … [Read more...] about The 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition Sold Out In 48 Hours, But More Are Coming

Streaming device makers used to be all about set top boxes. But now, thanks to things like the Fire TV Stick and Roku Streaming Stick, attention has shifted almost entirely to the dongle form factor. It’s so much better because you don’t need to have yet another box taking up space on one of your surfaces. Instead, these streaming sticks are tucked away behind your TV, never to be seen again. Apple doesn’t make a streaming dongle, which is pretty ironic considering how much Apple loves dongles. If you have an Apple TV and you wish you could tuck it away behind your flat screen like a dongle, your wish has just been granted.
